[ovirt-devel] hosted-engine setup/migration features for 3.6

Hi all, We already have quite a lot of open ovirt-hosted-engine-setup bugs for 3.6 [1]. Yesterday I tried helping someone on irc who planned to migrate to hosted-engine manually, and without knowing (so it seems) that such a feature exists. He had an engine set up on a physical host, prepared a VM for it, and asked about migrating the engine to the VM. In principle this works, but the final result will be a hosted-engine, where the engine manages a VM the runs itself, without knowing it, and without HA. The current recommended migration flow is described in [2]. This page is perhaps a bit outdated, perhaps missing some details etc., but principally works. The main issue with it, AFAICT after discussing this a bit with few people, is that it requires a new clean host. I'd like to hear what people here think about such and similar flows. If you already had an engine and migrated to hosted-engine, what was good, what was bad, what would you like to change? If you plan such a migration, what do you find missing currently?
